Matchups almost completed.

Eastern Conference
Canadiens vs NY Rangers
Penguins vs Blue Jackets

If Leafs get at least 1 point vs CBJ:
Sens vs Leafs, Caps vs Bruins

If Leafs get no points vs CBJ:
Caps vs Leafs, Sens vs Bruins


Western Conference
Wild vs Blues
Hawks vs Preds

If Ducks get any points vs Kings (win, OT win, OT loss)
Ducks vs Flames, Oilers vs Sharks

If Oilers win in any form against Canucks AND Ducks lose in regulation to Kings
Oilers vs Flames, Ducks vs Sharks

... I think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So confusing, my brain hurts.

I'll keep it reserved and down-play my loathing for Ovechkin in this conversation. But I will admit he's gotten better about not CHARGING and JUMPING into ever f---ing check he makes. He's been a cheap-shot artist in the past, but for the LIMITED time I've seen him this year, he's gotten better, as stated. I say that considering the hit against Brandon Carlo yesterday. Brandon just put himself in a bad position and I have to admit Ovie showed some class after the hit to come over and give him a stick tap apology.

The B's are gonna have a tough go against your Caps, but in all honesty, if the B's don't survive round 1 against them, I'd root for the Caps just for the sake of Coach Trotz...he deserves a ring, as he's been a GREAT coach his entire career.

Just a quick drift (still hockey, though):
Tonight is the last game at "the Joe" (Joe Louis Arena) for the Red Wings.

The phrase "four in a row, for Mike Yeo" will take on new meaning here.

Here's hoping you're right! Smile
LET'S.GO.BLUES!

... but we really could use Shattenkirk!

This karma tailor made for the Wild. I don't see a way for this not to happen.
Sadly enough.

It's all set now with the Blues win last night. It should be a good series.
GO.YEO!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

We'll be at the Caps regular season finale tonight, and at Round 1 Game 1 on Thursday night.

Born and raised in Chicago, I'm a lifelong Blackhawks fan, but have been all-in on the Capitals the past two years.

Here's how I see it:

^^^ Nothing personal, but I hope you get disappointed again.

The Mike Sullivan & the Pens have done an amazing job to reach 2nd overall in the NHL despite all of their injuries.

You have no clue about disappointment. I've seen the Caps blow too many 3-0, 3-1 series leads. It's our time.

I've been a hockey fan & Pens fan since 1968, 24 years of disappointment before the first Cup and add a few more years afterwards. So, I've got a bit of a clue about disappointments.

It could be worse, you could be a Flyers fan. Wink

Ugh, the Wild don't start until 8:30 central. Makes for a late night for someone who gets up at 3am! Frown

I swear to all that is holy...if the freeking Wild lose this series to the Mike Yeo (2016 Wild Coach) now led Blues, you may hear my head pop clear across the pond.

To add -

Puck drop 8:45pm Central? Come on man.

WHOA!!! Eek Toronto went on a Bruins-style skid at the end of the season! Now the B's will face Ottawa instead of the Caps. Sorry Skins...guess we'll have to pound on each other in Round 2 (hopefully Big Grin).

I don't want the Pens to win either...

But I am a happy Blue Jackets Fan Smile

I have my seats for game 3 & 4 & 6 (if needed).

Hopefully, I only have to go to games 3 & 4 to watch the completion of the CBJ sweeping the Pens, but taking it in 7 wouldn't upset me either Wink

Less than 24 hours now and we will be in the 3rd period.

CBJ, CBJ, CBJ...
